The Praja Sankalpa Yatra of YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy entered the 11th day on Saturday.

Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who started the yatra at Dornipadu village of Allagadda mandal at around 8 a.m., reached Kampamella Metta village of Kovelakuntla mandal after almost an hour and a half, thereby entering the Banaganapalle Assembly constituency.

He was received by a sizeable crowd at Kampamella Metta. Women farm labourers and farmers interacted with him for a considerable amount of time and poured out their woes under the TDP government.

Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy promised to address their grievances on loan waiver and education of their children on coming to power in the 2019 elections.

He accused the TDP government of reneging on every single pre-election promise made in its manifesto.
